Comments on: Twitter Vs. Facebook – Why Twitter works. http://www.stephenbleile.com/communication/twitter-2/ Creativity, Clarity and Community Tue, 11 May 2010 22:20:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Erick Cardoza http://www.stephenbleile.com/communication/twitter-2/comment-page-1/#comment-43 Erick Cardoza Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:06:09 +0000 http://www.stephenbleile.com/?p=405#comment-43 Thanks for the mention, I certainly agree with how twitter enables us to find others who we may or may not know but share common interests. To re-enforce your point I thought I'd share a quick story... Today (Feb 01, 2010) I was told by a friend of mine that one of my tweets was published on a local newspaper because they searched for mentions of the weather, which I happened to make as I was driving through bad highway conditions. Now, this newspaper does not know me and I don't know them (I know their name) yet, because of our mutual interest in chatting about the weather (so Canadian) they thought it would be useful to publish my comment. I highly doubt that they would have found my comment if I had made it in Facebook but because of the nature of twitter, I got to be famous for 15 milli-seconds today.. woop!
